The Velvet Underground and Nico isn't an enduring, defining, infinitely beloved album simply because it was first; because it was the seed that spawned a tree (that spawned an entire forest); because the VU begat seemingly billions of bands, even classic indie acts like Galaxie 500 being, when you boil it down, rote Velvets copyists. Rather, The Velvet Underground and Nico lives on, still sounding amazing and being dutifully praised, because it's a really, really great album. (altmusic.about.com)
